Honestly, to me, this sounds more like an older person take than a young person take (ironic given your claim of boomer whining). America is not exceptional!

Honestly, to me, this sounds more like an older person take than a young person take (ironic given your claim of boomer whining). America is not exceptional! Talking about demographics / geography, all that bs is how we get rooted in thinking America can't learn from other countries or change. Australia, for one, does a massively wonderful job with healthcare. My friends there, young by the way, love the healthcare there. But, like us, the housing market is awful. Well, worse honestly. And this is one of many countries who have great social healthcare. I don't think you're talking to me in good faith though given you've fallen back to "most of us get by just fine without healthcare". I'm young, like you, and I need healthcare. Plenty of my friends do too, especially some with rare conditions like narcolepsy. Did you honestly accept in an earlier comment that plenty need healthcare? It sounds to me like you want someone to confirm your viewpoints rather than to talk / learn / empathize with others.
